529 Westmount Drive is an updated cozy, warm-feeling vintage Spanish cottage with the original wooden front door, hardwood floors, Brazilian granite counter-tops in the kitchen and bathroom, Samsung washer/drier, a gas range, a microwave and to lay the base for premium window dressing (drapes), 529 has top-down/bottom up shades that maintain privacy while allowing light from the top to shine in. All of the lights are recessed and on dimmers. One can adjust the light in each room according to one's mood. The third bedroom is great for guests, storage or as a home office. (There are no photos of the third bedroom because it is storing boxes right now.) The cottage has a new, powerful 3-Ton AC/Heating System with a Nest "Smart" thermostat, Smart Security and, above all else, IQ Air filtration for the cleanest, healthiest air on Earth. (Swiss IQ Air Filtration is used in hospitals because it cleans air as much as 10 times better than top-rated Lennox Air Filtration.) All rooms are wired for cable, phone and internet. Included with the cottage is its own ultra-high-speed Arris TG1672 modem/wireless router, left by the previous tenant, for superlative fast internet. This is especially convenient if you re a 4K movie hound. Four windows have fragrant Pink Jasmine just outside of the windows. They generally bloom with their sweet fragrance twice a year. Two front kitchen nook windows are close to more Jasmine and the 20+ foot tall Magnolia tree in front that also generally blooms fragrantly twice a year. As you drive in the gated entrance you are greeted by 4 to 7 foot tall roses of a variety of hues. There is a tiled courtyard outside the front door and living room window that measures about 13 foot by 25 foot, so this can easily be used for parties. The Best of the Best This charmer is on the best street (the 500 block of Westmount) in the best neighborhood (West Hollywood West) in West Hollywood, the creative center of Los Angeles. The list of stars-yet-to-be and rising stars that have lived here or nearby is long. (Ellen's girlfriend, Anne Heche, lived next door when she was dating Ellen.) That just one of the reasons that West Hollywood is known as The Creative City. THE WEHO COMMUNITY Sometimes said in San Francisco is that Los Angeles is chilly-spirited and superficial and people are "distant," because this is a "car city" so people don't frequently engage each other. West Hollywood, (WEHO) although being world-class and cosmopolitan, maintains a feeling of community. It s like a walking village was placed right in the middle of Los Angeles. GREAT FOOD SO COMMON IT'S ALMOST TAKEN FOR GRANTED West Hollywood, especially the West Hollywood West quadrant where 529 Westmount Drive is located is a walking, talking, living breathing community. It can be friendly, with all kinds of talented neighbors enjoying the character that can be found here along with a few international travelers that maintain a pied de terre in the heart of Southern California, choosing this specific section of WEHO because it's "so close to everything, especially great restaurants." There are restaurants that feature healthy REAL foods, even organic, of all varieties, "...just down the street." Even among the less costly restaurants are some gems. RESTAURANTS PLUS TO EXPLORE While WEHO residents certainly maintain and revel in each other's diverse lifestyles, we really find our comaradery over brunch or dinner. Whether you want a great dinner that costs a song (Joey's Cafe's (a favorite of mine) has a Filet Mignon for $19.95 has been noted by five food lovers as being better than the filet at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse). Or if you're looking for haute cuisine, Wolfgang Puck (Spago) created the early versions of California Cuisine right here in West Hollywood at his restaurant on Sunset Boulevard and it continues to spawn new culinary adventures. AN ENDLESS LIST OF FOODS OF ALL VARIETIES Living at 529, you're a stone's throw from the Urth Caffe Melrose (1/2 block), about four blocks from The Abbey, Cecconi's, Catch LA, Lucques and Nobu Sushi Los Angeles, Fig & Olive and Real Food Daily (organic vegan cuisine). Another few blocks away is Wolf, Carlitos Gardel and for star-gazers, The Ivy on Robertson always has a team of paparazzi ready to snap photos of Kim Kardashian, Kendell Jenner, Paris and Perez Hilton and star athletes, including football s Reggie Bush. SUNSET BOULEVARD Also close is Sunset Boulevard with Roku Sushi, Spago, BOA Steakhouse, Tocoya Organic, Chateau Marmont Restaurant Sunset, Burger Lounge (all grass-fed) and lots more. For all your furniture needs Restoration Hardware, with its open fully-furnished top deck, is one-half block away. Koontz Hardware (On Santa Monica Boulevard) is that good old-fashioned has everything neighborhood hardware store, with Anawalt Lumber, right down Robertson near Koontz for all your lumber needs. Pets negotiable. Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive (10 minutes Away) A little farther away (10 minutes) is Rodeo Drive and downtown Beverly Hills where Bentleys and Rolls Royce are commonplace. The Beverly Center is a three or four minute walk away to the South and Google put its 4-month experimental test market store just block away at the corner of Westmount and Melrose. They know that this neighborhood provides a tremendous test market. BUSINESS MEETINGS NEAR HOME If you have a business meeting that you d rather not bring to your home, Restoration Hardware s gorgeous open top deck is available for your meeting needs. (Photo attached.) Come and enjoy the warmth and independence of West Hollywood, with it small-town (2 1/2 square mile) feel, but with the creative minds and personalities of Hollywood living their lives out, sometimes right next door!
